Hello! Yes, it is possible.: http://www.emedicine.com/PED/topic48.htm and a snippet from the site: Males with steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) deficiency, classic 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency, or CYP17 deficiency generally have ambiguous genitalia or female genitalia because of inadequate testosterone production in the first trimester of fetal life. A female with CYP17 deficiency appears phenotypically female at birth but does not develop breasts or menstruate in adolescence because of inadequate estradiol production.
Unfortunantly, the vast majority of CAH cases are due to 21 hydroxylase deficiency so there's not tons of research out there talking about the other types. Hope this helps ya'-- MarthaF
